lizzard? It did not even snow, although it got a little windy. It either did not happen at all, or we are in a pocket which it did not hit.

Bren went back to work today. His shop has been off for the holidays for almost 2 weeks. Now that is he out of the house I can get more done on it. When he is working on the bathroom, his tools and things are strewn all over the place. It is only about a 560sf house after all. It is almost like a steeplechase course in the house from time to time. 

The good news is the bathroom is getting tiled now. It is going really fast. The 'face' of the tub, the deck and one wall are completely filled with tile. Bren said it would go fast and it certainly does. I did have to cut wooden shims to fit between some of the tiles, as we got a good deal on floor tiles which we are using on the walls. Due to the slightly heavier weight of them versus wall tiles, they started to slide a little out of place.

The grey-blue tiles are a little more blue than we thought when we ordered them, but they do not look bad with the other tiles. I got to help here and there between working on the newspaper. Today is my last paper I think if the new girl works out.
